ABSTRACT

A magnetic display device for displaying jewelry, such as a ring including a display base. A magnetic member is mounted on or in the display base; and a metallic member is attached to the ring. The metallic member is magnetically attached to the magnetic member to display the jewelry or ring in an upstanding manner on the display base.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a magnetic display device for various types of jewelry such as rings, pendants, pins, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, charms and watches. More particularly, it relates to a magnetic display device having a display base for receiving and embedding one or more magnetic members therein, such that the jewelry is detachably mounted on the magnetic members allowing the jewelry to be displayed in an upstanding manner on the display base.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Ring trays, jewelry display cases, jewelry display boxes, jewelry cases/boxes and watch cases are well known in the prior art. Display devices in general have been manufactured to support and display particular types of jewelry, such as rings, earrings, necklaces, pins, watches, etc. Existing display devices cannot be used for different types of jewelry, such as rings and pendants, as the holding device is not conducive for interchanging different types of jewelry.

There remains a need for a magnetic display device for supporting and displaying various types of jewelry such as rings, earrings, pendants, pins, bracelets, necklaces, charms, and watches having a display base with one or more magnetic members being embedded in the display base or mounted on the display base. Additionally, the magnetic display device would be lightweight, durable after years of use, and easy to clean and use by the jeweler. Further, the magnetic display device would provide a support to display the various types of jewelry in an upstanding manner.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Ring trays, jewelry display cases, jewelry display boxes, and other display cases having various designs, structures, configurations and materials of contruction have been disclosed in the prior art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,626,303 discloses a display for tableware. The present invention is distinguishable since the prior art displays tableware and not jewelry, and the prior art does not teach displaying jewelry in an upstanding manner, and does not teach displaying jewelry at an angle.

None of these prior art patents teach or disclose the structure of a magnetic display device having one or more magnetic members being embedded or mounted on a display base as shown in the present invention.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic display device for supporting and displaying jewelry such as rings, earrings, pendants, pins, bracelets, necklaces, charms, watches and combinations thereof for both men's, women's, and children's jewelry.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic display device that includes a display base having a top wall surface with one or more cavities for receiving and embedding one or more magnetic members therein. Alternatively, the magnetic member can be mounted on the top wall surface of the display base by glue, epoxy cement or soldering.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic display device that has the magnetic members having the shape of bars, rods, cylinders, spheres, or other geometrically-shaped metal castings and the like for receipt within the one or more cavities of the top wall surface of the display base, or for receipt on the top wall surface of the display base.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic display device having the magnet member made from ferromagnetic materials selected from the group consisting of steel, iron, ferro-nickle alloys, copper-nickle alloys and ceramics or a combination thereof.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic display device that has a metal element attached to a ring, such that the metal element is magnetically attached to a magnetic member in a display base in order to display the ring in an upstanding manner on the display base.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic display device that includes a flexible and resilient ring insert member having a metal element thereon for being detachably connected to an inner ring surface of a ring, such that the metal element is magnetically attached to a magnetic member in a display base in order to display the ring on the display base in an upstanding manner.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic display device that include flexible jewelry support members which are sized and shaped for use in the support and display of jewelry including of rings, earrings, pendants, pins, necklaces, bracelets, charms, watches and the like for both men's, women's and children's jewelry.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic display device that includes a display cabinet having one or more cabinet display shelf members, each having a top wall surface for including a plurality of magnetic members and jewelry support members for displaying jewelry on the cabinet display shelf member in an upstanding manner.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic display device that can be mass produced in an automated and economical manner and is readily affordable by jewelers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED AND ALTERNATE EMBODIMENTS The Preferred Embodiment 10

The magnetic display device 10 for jewelry, such as rings 12, are represented in detail by FIGS. 1 through 3 a to 3 d of the patent drawings. The magnetic display device 10 is used in jewelry stores for the display of rings 12 to customers by the jeweler. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 a and 3 b, the magnetic display device 10 includes a display base 20 having a top wall surface 22 and a bottom wall surface 23. The top wall surface 22 includes a rectangularly-shaped cavity 24, being centrally positioned on the top wall surface 22, for receiving and embedding a magnetic member 26 therein. The magnetic member 26 is made of ferromagnetic materials selected from the group consisting of steel, iron, ferro-nickle alloys, aluminum-nickle alloys, copper-nickle alloys and ceramics or combinations thereof. The display base 20 may be made of glass, plastic, wood, stone, marble and/or polished metal. Cavity 24 may be other geometric shapes including round, square, triangle, oval and the like for use with the magnetic member 26 having the shape of bars, rods, cylinders, spheres, other geometrically-shaped metal castings and the like. Further, cavity 24 may receive a magnetic member 26 c having a canted top surface 27 of at least 60°, such that the canted top surface 27 of magnetic member is above the top surface 22 of the display base 20, as depicted in FIG. 3 d. In this manner, the display ring 12 having a magnetic core element 12 a embedded therein, is magnetically attached to the top surface 27 of magnetic member 26 c. Alternatively, display base 20 may have additional magnetic members 26 a, 26 b, 26 d and 26 e mounted on or embedded in the top surface 22 of display base 20 by adhering the magnetic members 26 a, 26 b, 26 d or 26 e to display base 20 using cement or adhesive, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 c and 3 d. The bottom surface 23 may receive a sticker member 25 having indicia 25 i thereon, as shown in FIG. 2 of the drawings. Also, display base 20 may include a canted top surface 22 c, as depicted in FIG. 2 of the drawings.

Ring 12 includes a metal element 30 for magnetic attachment to the magnetic member 26, as depicted in FIGS. 1, 3 a and 3 b of the drawings, to display ring 12 in an upstanding manner on display base 20. The metal element 30 has an angled surface 30 a and is attached by solder, acrylic or epoxy cement, glue, a friction fit, cavity, or connected by screws to an inner ring surface 14 and side ring surface 16 of ring 12, as depicted in FIGS. 2, 3 a to 3 d. Metal element 30 has an angled surface 30 a and may be attached to ring 12 by element 30 b so that ring 12 is canted/angled at an angle alpha (α) between 10° to 80° with respect to the vertical axis, as shown in FIG. 3 c. Additionally, the display ring 12 may have a magnetic core element 12 a embedded within an outer ring surface 18 of ring 12, as depicted in FIG. 3 d.

It is understood that magnetic member 26 may instead be a non-magnetized metal member and that metal element 30 may instead be a magnetized metal element 30 m. The magnetized metal element 30 m is made of ferromagnetic materials selected form the group consisting of steel, iron, ferro-nickle alloys, aluminum-nickle alloys, copper-nickle alloys and ceramics or combinations thereof.
